The implant itself sits inside the jawbone. Over time the bone grows around it. Holds it firmly in place. This process is called osseointegration. Its a big reason implants don’t have the loose or shifting feeling that some removable teeth have.<\/p>\r\n
Once the crown is attached you’ll usually notice that it feels stable when you bite. There isn’t a clasp moving around. Nothing needs to be taken out at night. It just stays there.<\/p>\r\n
Your brain needs a time to get used to the new tooth. The crown may feel slightly strange because its shape is different from the tooth you had before even if your dentist has matched it carefully.<\/p>\r\n
Your bite can feel a bit unfamiliar during those first days. That’s normal. If the implant feels too high when you close your teeth though tell your dentist. A small adjustment can make a difference.<\/p>\r\n
A natural tooth has nerves that let you sense pressure, temperature and pain. An implant doesn’t have that nerve connection. You still feel pressure through the tissues around it. The sensation isn’t quite the same as biting with a natural tooth.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Firm when you chew, which is probably the change from a removable tooth.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Temperature feels different because the implant itself doesn’t contain a living nerve.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 A little odd at first especially while the crown and surrounding tissues settle into their routine.<\/p>\r\n
An implant may feel like a tooth but it still needs proper cleaning. Plaque around the gum can cause inflammation. Eventually affect the tissues supporting the implant.<\/p>\r\n
So keep brushing and clean around the implant carefully. Your dentist may also show you a cleaning method based on where the implant sits.<\/p>\r\n
For people yes. Completely identical to a tooth? No. Completely normal in life? That’s a better description.<\/p>\r\n
Honestly I think that’s where implants have an advantage. When they’re planned properly and the crown fits well they tend to get out of your way. You stop noticing the thing that was once impossible to ignore.<\/p>\r\n
